Please see the last question on our FAQs page for instructions on the proper way to send your watch to Crystal-Fit.

ServicesWe exist to help with the problem of "where can I get my watch repaired". We know it's difficult to find a watchmaker on the staff of most jewelry stores. It's even more difficult to find one who can cut and set a watch crystal / lens / glass / face or repair a mechanical watch.

With over 40 years of experience in repairing and restoring watches, we can resolve your watch problems.

Whether you live in New York City or small town in Kansas, you can trust that we have the knowledge, skill and experience to make your timepiece look and perform its best. And better still, you'll like our prices because we don't do our work in a high overhead location.

Crystal Shapes

There are an extraordinary variety of crystal (also referred to as lens, glass or face) shapes. This because we must take into account not only width and length, but also the contours and curves associated with the top and bottom sides. To determine your crystal shape, we must first find how the top and bottom are formed. Then we can determine the width and length (or profile) of your crystal.

*A cylinder crystal when viewed from the bottom has a vertical wall. Almost all plastics are cylinder. Almost all glass crystals have a flat edge but a few were made like the plastics.
